The sinuous shapes of the building remind us to bottles stacked in a cellar, with clear references to the master Antoni Gaudí.

A sustainable building which advocates responsible tourism: rainwater collection system, cross ventilation and solar filtration thanks to the latticework design on its windows.

The interior of the hotel preserves the same principles, since it has a biomass boiler, LED lighting, furniture and decorative elements that are made from natural raw materials, certified for their low environmental impact.
